Say for example that you are trying to eliminate potato chips and other fried food, which you generally consume as a late-night snack. By quitting cold turkey without thinking of a substitute, you may be tempted to eat these foods during your elimination phase, or even develop worse eating habits to fill your cravings.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep A Food Journal<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The whole point of the elimination diet is to track how any changes in your food consumption affect your symptoms. As such, you should be prepared to note down your eating habits as well as your physical reactions diligently after commencing this diet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is useful as there can be a significant delay between eating certain food and observing a physical change. If you are tracking your physical symptoms over several weeks and notice a change, you can go through your food journal and try to identify the culprit even though it may not seem obviously linked.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try to Keep Everything Else Constant<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As with the scientific method, it is important that everything other than the independent variable is kept constant in order to determine how any experimental changes affect the dependent variable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this case, the independent variable is the incorporation or elimination of a certain food group, which affects the dependent variable which is your presentation of symptoms. If you are making other significant changes in your life like living in an unprecedented environment, trying out a different exercise regime, or trying new body care products, it can be difficult to tie any changes you observe in your symptoms strictly to the changes you make in your diet.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
